Visa applications must be processed through the Chinese Consular post that holds jurisdiction over your area of residence. Use the chart on this page to locate the visa office you must send your visa application packets to.

These documents may help you prepare your application: Visa Application Instructions, Sample for Adopted Child, and Sample for Adult. However, please note that they are based on the New York Consulate's forms and may vary slightly from other Consulates. To ensure that you access the appropriate visa application forms and instructions for your designated Consulate and avoid any delays, please use the forms and instructions on your area Consulate's website.

If you live in the New York Chinese Consulate's jurisdiction, you may choose to use a messenger service through Gladney’s New York office.

Important note: applications must be completed on the computer in all capital letters and printed out. Handwritten forms will not be accepted.

Finalize travel plans with Gladney China Heritage Tour staff. Final plans are submitted by Gongzhan Wu to the travel agency in China.

Families are responsible for purchasing trip insurance. We recommend this type of insurance to protect you against unforeseen trip interruption or cancellation (such as the Swine Flu epidemic in 2009).
